An organization researching chronic pain in veterans has asked for and received the resignation of a retired general behind a controversial speech slamming government and Canadian Forces policies.
The Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans originally announced Nov. 10 that retired Lt.-Gen. Michel Maisonneuve, who was on its board of directors, would lead the organization’s fundraising campaign.
The night before, Maisonneuve was given a standing ovation by serving senior Canadian military officers for a speech in which he criticized everything from the removal of historical statues and apologies to victims to government climate change policies. The speech also took issue with the new policy by Chief of the Defense Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre, who made recent changes to military dress regulations to include beards and hair colouring, and to give both women and men more options in selecting uniforms.
